Ornellaia 2020 Tenute dell'Ornellaia
Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most iconic red wines, produced at the prestigious Tenuta dell’Ornellaia estate in Bolgheri, along the Tuscan coast. First released in 1985, it quickly rose to international acclaim as a benchmark Super Tuscan, combining Mediterranean richness with Bordeaux-inspired elegance.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, Ornellaia is crafted from meticulously selected grapes grown on diverse vineyard plots with complex soils. This diversity contributes to its depth, structure, and aromatic precision.
Fermentation takes place in a mix of stainless steel and oak, followed by 18 months of aging in French barriques and at least 12 months of bottle refinement before release. Each vintage reflects the character of the year, but always remains true to the Ornellaia style: dark fruit, spice, tobacco, graphite, and Mediterranean herbs on the nose, with a rich, smooth, and well-balanced palate framed by polished tannins and a long finish.
With remarkable aging potential, Ornellaia is a wine of grandeur and harmony, consistently ranked among the greatest Italian wines and a global ambassador of Bolgheri excellence.
